Caucasus Krai

Caucasus Krai (Кавказский край) was an administrative division (a krai) of the Russian Empire. It was established in 1844. From that time until 1882 the head of the region (krai) was Viceroy-namestnik (наместник), during 1882–1905 chief executive or commander-in-chief (главноуправляющий or главноначальствующий), and in 1905–1917 again namestnik.
